Breast Reduction Surgery (also known as “Reduction Mammaplasty”) is pretty much exactly what it sounds like – a relatively common procedure designed to reduce the size of breasts in an effort to provide both greater everyday comfort and self-confidence.
From pregnancy to genetics, there are a number of reasons why breasts can increase to a volume that exceeds your discomfort threshold. Long story short: If you’re unable to live the comfortable, active lifestyle you want for yourself, breast reduction surgery is an option for you – especially if you’re generally physically healthy, your breasts are fully developed and you don’t smoke.
After your procedure, you will be prescribed pain medications and given a supportive bra to offer additional support throughout the healing process. Most patients can resume normal day-to-day activities within 1-2 weeks of surgery and athletic activity within 4-6 weeks. Scars should fade completely between 6-12 months.
Breast reductions are among the safest surgical procedures offered in the plastic surgery industry. However, with every procedure, there are some risks that need to be addressed. These risks include, but are not limited to:
Every situation is unique, and some procedures may be coupled with others to achieve a specific desired result which can make cost estimation difficult. However, we have found that the typical high-quality breast reduction procedure in Columbus, Ohio costs around $5,800.
Note: This price does not include anesthesia which can vary patient-to-patient based on need and desire.

Breast reduction surgery involves the removal of excess breast fat, skin and tissue to create ideally-proportioned breasts as they relate to your specific body size. The entire procedure takes between 2-3 hours and you should be able to return home that day. This procedure may also be combined with a breast lift to achieve desired results. And, thanks to newer surgical techniques, we are able to keep scarring to a minimum!
